I'm going to try and respond to as many of your questions as possible on a regular basis. So start asking and remember to check back and see if your question got answered!!!
Oh, and remember to sign your questions with either your real or fake identity. That way we can identify you when we respond. Also, if the question is for a specific member of the band, make sure you clarify that. For example: Kelly, How often do you change your underwear? -Curious George or Dave, How long is your beard? -Batman Also, remember folks that this is a family-friendly website so if a question is deemed inappropriate by me, it will be ignored. Other than that, have fun with it and we look forward to hearing from you!!! |

Holding Out,
I have always wanted to be in a band. Not necessarily a famous band, but one just well known enough to sell a few cd's. Do you have any advice on how I could do this? I was in a band not that long ago but it split because of disagreements. Do you have any advice on how to prevent these from happening as well? -Malibu Camper Camper, Having a band that doesn’t break up is easier said than done! The most important thing is that all the members of the band are on the same page. I believe that for a band to be successful you have to have a mission. You must have a message that you think is so important that it’s worth years of playing tiny gigs and not making any money just to have a chance to “make it big.” Overnight success is a myth, at least for people who don’t start off incredibly well connected. You have to put together a group of people who are committed to years and years of playing music that isn’t as fun as you expected it to be, just to have a shot at being successful. Truth is, at least for us, we’ve needed the last 5 years of anonymity to hone our craft and I still think we have a TON of work to do. It’s not easy to find people who have the same values and goals as you do but when you find them, they become family and you realize that no matter how many times you get pissed at each other, you’re still family and you still all want the same thing. Scott is my brother and Jen is my sister-in-law. (She would be my sister but she’s married to Scott so it’d be weird if my brother and sister were married to each other) We disagree often, but it never stands in the way of our common goal, which is to reach people with our message of hope and love. Good luck with starting a band! Keep rockin! -Kelly Did you ever play at a school? -chili cheese guy Chili Cheese Guy, Did you invent the Chili Cheese Corndog? I LOVE those things! Did we ever play at a school? Huh, well, yes. Let’s see, we’ve played at Linfield College, Ecola Bible School, Western Oregon University, University of Washington, and the Linfield Portland Campus. That’s all I can think of off the top of my head. Keep inventing delicious Chili Cheese Concoctions. Like chili cheese Fritos. Oh, man. Kelly Why did you guys get rid of the bald guy? He was the best! I don't think I can come to any more shows. :( - The Bald Guy Bald Guy, What a weird way for you to bring this up. It seems like a pretty personal matter and I don’t know why you would want to hash it out in front of our millions of readers. Well that was an overstatement, hundreds of thousands of readers is a little more accurate. If you’ll refer to the most recent edition of Holding Out’s esteemed periodical missive, which should be hitting inboxes all over the country any day now, you will get a bit of an inside look at some of the inner conflicts of Holding Out that were caused by The Face (aka you). Yes, Mr. Best Thing Since Sliced Bread (also you) caused some serious jealousy and rage in his fellow male band-mates because of all the female attention that he stole from them. We thought it would get better when he started wearing a wedding ring but the ladies just looked past it as if it were invisible and the problems persisted. Scott and I tried to vent this pain and anguish through song but it wasn’t enough and we had to get rid of old Cavid Dramer. (I just made that one up now but yeah, it’s you too) That dog just wouldn’t hunt if you know what I mean. Sorry pal, Kelly Dave, why do you like ninjas so much? i mean i really like ninjas too. cause they're like super cool with all the actions, but i don't get why your like obsessed with it. -EL!D!A El Dia, it isn't that I like ninjas so much as it is that I have a high self-esteem. For you, you could compare it to just being a regular human being. You like being a human being. In fact, everything that you do is about being a human being. I guess I could ask you why you're so obsessed with being a human? Well El Dorado? Why are you so obsessed with being a person? And ninjas aren't just super cool! They're shadowy enigmas. They're the kind of creatures that can end your life and then play canasta with your disembodied soul like it was no big deal. They can fight all kind of creatures and escape with nary a scratch! Have you ever fought a Gorgon basilisk Demon and lived to tell the tale? We have. In fact, El Dairy, I'm right behind you as you read this response just waiting for one hint of a bad reaction, because unfortunately, the ninja code prevents me from ending your life simply because I don't like your tone, but an allergic reaction to this post is definitely grounds to dispatch of you. Thanks for the question! But don't make any sudden movements. Shadowy Enigma So, what job did you do before you decided to be a musician? It turns out that it is very difficult to make enough money working as a musician to actually pay bills. Especially when you have huge student loans to pay off. So, we all currently have two jobs, one being “Professional Musician” and the other one being called, “Job That Pays Bills”. Before forming Holding Out officially as an entity in June 2006, we were all students at Linfield College. I graduated in 2006 and while everyone was waiting for me to graduate Scott was selling copy machines for Pacific Office Automation, Jen was working in the tax department at Evergreen Aviation, and Dave was living in Eugene working with people suffering from Dementia. Currently, I work for Portland Parks and Recreation teaching Pre-school, sports classes, guitar lessons, and planning birthday parties. Scott is the worship leader at Milwaukie First Baptist Church. Jen works in the tax department of Hollywood Video and Dave works for Dr. Bott, a company that buys stuff from companies and sells it to other companies for more than what they bought it for. Ha! Dr. Bott? More like Dr. Genius. Dave is also currently looking at law schools. Well, there you go. We work hard and play hard. Go team. Kelly Dear Band, When you are eventually recognized as the super-heroes that you are, what will the people scream to each of you? Well this certainly is an odd question. Congratulations on that. I don’t spend much time if any fighting crime right now because, like you said, the general public hasn’t yet recognized me as a super hero. Once I am recognized, I’ll have to get my rear in gear or people will start to question my moral values and call me lazy. I can’t have that. So, to answer your question, I suppose the things that people scream at us would depend on what we happen to be doing at the moment. As much as I would love to spend all my time rocking out and melting minds with our molten lava rock ‘n’ roll, I do feel responsibility as a super hero to spend at least some of my time fighting crime and making the world a safer place to live. If we were on stage rocking out, I would expect people to scream things like, “You guys are so cool!” “Is the drummer taken?!” “Wow! You rocked my pants right off!” and, “I want to have your babies…Jen!” However, if we’re fighting crime, it would probably be more like this: “Help!” “Hang upside down and kiss me in the rain!” “Wow, that guy can stretch out his arms and legs to amazing lengths!” (in response) “No, dude, he’s just THAT tall and skinny.” Hope that answers your question. Kelly How old are you guys? Kelly: 23 years 4 months 16 days Jen: 24 years 3 months 15 days Dave: 24 years 5 months 23 days Scott: 25 years 10 months 13 days Love, Kelly Hi Kelly, just wondering.... do you prefer Barney or Scooby Doo? Also, what are your thoughts on Hanna Montana? I am looking forward to hearing your reply!!! -Milkface Milkface, I hope you have a milk mustache. I love mustaches of all kinds. There are good things about both of these guys. I have to start off by admitting that I have never been an avid watcher of either of these shows. I’ll tell you what I like about Barney. His theme song is good. I love you, you love me. We’re a happy family. With a great big hug And a kiss from me to you. Won’t you say you love me to? I’m all about love, hugs, and kisses so this song is good and really speaks to me in a special way. One thing I don’t really like about Barney is that he’s just a little awkward. He’s so big and when the kids go to hug him it’s like they are just getting pats on the back from him cause he can’t bend down and hug them. He’s not mobile enough to live up the lyrics in his song. I believe he really loves those kids and me but come on man, take care of your body so you can hug your kids. Also, there’s a person inside that dinosaur suit and I don’t know anything about them. That’s weird. Scooby Doo is fun. He solves mysteries and in doing so, helps people out. I am a little partial to Scooby Doo because I happen to look a lot like his pal Shaggy. Some day I’d like to have a pal kinda like Scooby Doo and maybe we could solve some mysteries together. The downside of Scooby Doo is that he is kind of a coward. He gets scared really easily which doesn’t come in handy when trying to solve mysteries that often involve ghosts and ghouls and such. Also, he’s bit hard to understand when he speaks but I guess he’s a dog so I’ll give him a break on that front. When all is said and done, I gotta go with Scooby. All I really know about Hanna Montana is that her dad is Billy Ray Cyrus. That is awesome. I loved Achy Breaky Heart back in the day and you’ve got to hand it to Billy cause he sticks to his guns and he’s been around for a long, long time. I watched the show the other day and it’s incredibly cheesy but kids like it so more power to you, Hannah. Do your thing, girl. Holler! Kelly Hi!! I was wondering what nicknames your mom calls you?? -Tanner Tanner, My mom calls me Bug pretty much all the time. Another favorite of hers was Little Precious, which lead to a variety of nicknames that were all based on this one name. Such as Little P, Pea, Presh, etc. My mom worked as a lunch lady at the High School that I attended while I was going there. So, not only did she call me Little Precious at school but all the other lunch ladies called me this as well. I was very popular in school due to my good standing with the lunch ladies. So popular in fact, that my mom actually offered to give a girl a dollar to go talk to me while I was waiting for her to get off work after school one day. My mom was always one who stood up for her fellow lunch ladys. One of my classmates was telling his buddy that he was going to play a funny trick on one of my mom’s colleagues and so when he got up to the front of the line and went to hand her his money he dropped it on the ground so she had to bend down to pick it up. He and his friends laughed while my mom promptly came over and asked him if HE wanted to see something funny. Before he had a chance to answer she tossed the candy he had just purchased over his head and out into the cafeteria. That reminds me of another pretty good story. One day my mom overheard some boys talking in line. “You want to know how you can get free lunch at school?” one boy asked. “How?” responded the other. “By having sex with the lunch lady!” answered the first boy. Then my mom butted in with, “What in the world makes you think that any of us would want to have sex with you?” This quieted the boys quickly. Well, there you go. Now you know my mom a little better. Everyone should. Love, Kelly Kelly, My B-day is coming up and i want ur new CD where would my mom get it?? ~~Emily~~ Emily, I'm so glad you asked! Tell your mom to visit this website, www.cdbaby.com/holdingout2 and she can order it off that site with her credit card! Let's all take a moment to sing happy birthday to Emily!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEAR EMILY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!! I send you tidings of great joy and I hope you like the CD!!! Kelly Kelly, Could you please detail the pros and cons of your personal experience with sack versus hot lunches. What conclusion do you draw forth? -Adam Sandler Adam, I hope that I understand what you mean by “hot lunches”. The meaning of sack lunches is implicitly clear but the way I see it, hot lunch could be one of two things. It could mean that there is some sort of cafeteria that you are purchasing food from, pizza, perhaps. Or it could mean that you bring some leftover pizza in tin foil and plan to heat it up in a microwave. In order to be as clear as possible, my good friend, I will address both. The time in my life when I experienced the first of my two definitions of hot lunch was back in my school days. I can remember bringing a sack lunch to school for the first couple years of my school experience but it wasn’t long before my family realized that we qualified for the reduced lunch prices and a couple years I even got free lunch at school so that was the way I ate lunch at school for most of my adolescence. Cold Lunch Pros: - You do not have to wait in line to receive your lunch. - You can bring whatever you like. (granted your parents allow it) - You get to sport a very cool lunch pail. (mine, I believe was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles but I could be wrong. My mom would know) Cons: - You most likely will end up eating basically the same thing every day for lunch. - Your Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich is never as tasty looking when you eat it as it was when you packed it. - For some reason, bringing a sack lunch was just never as cool as buying it at school, especially in Middle School. Hot Lunch Pros: - You often have a choice of a couple different foods. - One of these choices is usually pizza. - It’s cheap. Cons: - The choices, besides pizza, are sometimes gross and you just never know until you try it. - You have to wait in line. - You have to remember to bring money, at least every once in a while. The lunch ladies can’t feed our empty promises to their children. So there is my school days assessment of sack versus hot. I must say that I am probably biased because like I said, most of my days were spent buying hot lunch at school, but I actually enjoyed most of the food, especially the pizza and was happy to eat hot lunch instead of sack lunch. These days, it is a different story. I do not have a cafeteria where I work so now when you say hot lunch, I think of something warmed in a microwave. I will now detail the pros and cons of sack versus hot microwave lunches in my day-to-day life that I am now living. Cold Lunch Pros: - I do not have to leave the room to prepare my lunch. This is handy because I am not really supposed to leave 10-15 preschoolers in a room by themselves, as at least a few deaths would occur in the 5 minutes I was absent. - I can bring whatever I like. (provided I drag my buns to the store and buy it) - I eat pretty much the same thing as the kids and I think they like that. - I get to sport a very hip Portland Parks and Rec. Lunch Bag that is teal. Cons: - I basically eat the same lunch every day. - We just never seem to have a good supplement to my sandwich. (i.e. Doritos or Goldfish) - I have to pack it myself in the morning, and if I forget, I have to steal food from children to survive. (I have not actually done that, I swear.) Hot Lunch Pros: - Usually it is something different than the normal lunch. Variety is the spice of life. - It makes me feel like a grown up Cons: - Apparently warming food up in a Tupperware dish causes cancer to enter your food and then you proceed to eat the cancer and give it to yourself. I usually say, “No Thanks!” to cancer. - It’s almost always leftovers, which are never as good the second time around. - I have to leave the room to warm it up. Wow, Adam, that turned into a novel. So yeah, I grew up on the hot lunch train and now I eat the same boring lunch every day that I bring for myself and I’m never satisfied by it. But I don’t like cancer and I can’t leave the kids in the room by themselves so now I choose Cold lunch. I kinda started to proofread this for a second and then I got bored and moved on with my life. So if you read that whole thing, I’m sorry and I love you. Love, Kelly Band, Who, and guess if you must, do you think has the better singing voice: Adam Huntbags or Mike Ketlerjazz? Don't be brief in your response. - Friar Tuck Good Friar, First, let me say that I loved you in Disney's Robin Hood. Excellent work. Huntbags or Ketlerjazz... that is an interesting question. It is difficult to compare the different styles. Is Adam Huntbag's scream-o punk style "better" than Ketlerjazz's ethereal and, at times, haunting vocals, reminiscient of Enya? I would have to analyze this. First, Huntbags has had such hits as "I Wish That You Would Answer My Phone Calls And Text Messages and Faxes and Listen To My Bleeding Heart Poetry" in which his voice soars over often muddy guitar licks and heavy drum beats. He sings "It's like you like me, like, less than, like, I like myself." Powerful. On another track, "I'm Breaking My Own Heart Into Even Smaller Pieces Than You Broke It Into" he has a vocal solo in which he screams "This is my sledgehammer, my love for you." The last track I want to compare is a break from his normal self-loathing. It's a light-hearted ditty called "I Never Ever Ever Never Never Ever Want To See The Sun Again". This charming tune speaks to the happiness found in this scream-o punk's life. The happiness of hating the world and not wanting to get out of bed on the odd chance that today will, yet again find him breaking up with his new girlfriend of one day. But if he didn't always break up with his perpetually new girlfriend, he wouldn't be able to show off his vocals on all these incessantly repetitive tracks. I give him a C. Minus. Ketlerjazz's vocals are, as I said, ethereal and haunting. I was only kidding about the Enya part. They are ethereal in that nothing from this world could sound like that, and haunting in that they make you wish you were dead. Imagine if you will, Scuttle the Seagull singing Only Time, or, In The Arms of the Angels? Then add in some extremely high pitched frequencies, the sound of fingernails on the chalkboard, and worn down brake pads stopping a speeding vehicle, and throw those in the audio-blender and you'll get something similar to the vocal stylings of Mike Ketlerjazz. His latest track to hit the record stores is called "Riders at Midnight." He dedicated this track to thos late night truck drivers who have trouble staying awake. They pop in this tune and there is no way they can fall asleep. Not after they've soiled themselves. But all in all a terrifyingly unique and morbidly endearing quality to his voice. C. Lyrical geniuses? Not hardly. Vocal proteges? Unlikely. Heroes? Absolutely. Ketlerjazz by a hair, but not the ones on his head. Or mine. Thanks for the question, Friar. Dave Band, Why don't you guys try a more glam-band approach? I think you should start wearing excessive makeup and bizzare costumes. Please? -Dee Snyder Dee, That just would not do. The glam band approach, though tried and tested, would ultimately prove a novelty. We stand on our music alone, and Jen's good looks. That is all. Although, if we went with the glam rock aspect, I'll bet that we could ink a sweet deal with Mattel to make Holding Out Action Figures. Could you imagine it? "Watch as the Scott doll makes a face while playing a solo! See Kelly doll's hands sweat! (then have some kids yell, "They're actually sweaty!") See Dave doll stand and do nothing! And see Jen doll look pretty! THEY'RE AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!" Yeah, maybe. Maybe. Band Kelly, Should I sign a long term deal with the Twins, even if I have to take less than what I could get elsewhere? -Torii Hunter Oh Torii!!! I'm so glad you asked! I've really been meaning to talk to you about this but to tell you the truth, I didn't even realize you knew who I was! What an honor. First off, I must tell you that you are my second favorite baseball player to ever play the game. And you are only my second favorite because you happen to be the second coming of my favorite player, Kirby Puckett. Do you even realize how much like him you are? It doesn't get any better that the two of you and The Minnesota Twins franchise would not be what it is today if it wasn't for you guys. I can't even tell you how much of a shame it would be to see you playing the game in another uniform! It would be kinda like if, well, Kirby Puckett had signed with a different team to finish his career. Can you imagine? Kirby Puckett, not with the Twins? Well I can't and neither can I imagine you with another club. I understand that you are having a career season and you could definitely fetch a very fine contract that the Twins would have no hope of matching. However, the respect and honor that you would receive, not only from Twins fans, but from baseball fans in general, if you stayed with the club you love, in the city you love (and loves you back) would far outweigh any possibly monetary gains made by going over to the dark side. How many players end their careers with the same team that they started on these days? You could be one of the few. Please, Mr. Hunter, end your career with the Twinkies. We would be forever grateful. Yours Truly, Kelly When is the new cd out? Georgia Fan Georgia Fan, I’m happy to report that our new CD is out RIGHT NOW!!! You can get it from us at a show or if it is to far to travel, get it from this website: www.cdbaby.com/holdingout2 Thanks for asking and I hope you buy it and enjoy it thoroughly!!! Love, Kelly what am i holding now? I’m not sure but I really hope you’ve got some Mountain Dew in one hand and a bag of Chili Cheese Fritos in the other. Mmmmmmm… Love, Kelly Kelly, I was wondering do you find it difficult to be so hot? Also, do you think your sex appeal is from nature or is it nurtured? Love, Your biggest fan XOXO My biggest fan, This question confused me a little bit because I don’t actually think it is from my biggest fan. I say this because I happen to know that my biggest fan is my mom and she rarely refers to me as being “hot” and I’ve NEVER heard her talk about my “sex appeal” (if there is such a thing). So, it is a mystery to me as to who actually wrote in this question, attempting to masquerade as my mother, but I will do my best to answer it anyway. Do I find it difficult to be so hot? Well, you may think that being so hot would cause constant female attention, which would get old really quickly. On the contrary, this raw, steamy sex appeal that I have going rarely causes this reaction in women. Usually, women play hard to get and largely pretend that they are ignoring me. Even when I give them the ultimate compliment of speaking with them, they use incredible self-control and manage to pretend to be disinterested in what I have to say. When I am in a crowded room with lots of women, you would think that it would be annoying to have so many of them attempting to make eye contact with me and wink at me and give me “come hither” looks. However, for the most part, my shining beauty causes them to turn the other way, become incredibly interested in what their friends are saying, or even shield their faces to keep from blushing horribly and getting really embarrassed. So, I must say that this incredible hotness and sex appeal that I apparently possess really doesn’t fill my life with hundreds of awkward moments of having to crush young girls’ hearts like you might imagine. I’m really not much different from the rest of you. The source from whence I received this incredible gift is hard to say. But I can’t imagine that it’s from anything that I’ve done so I guess I would have to say that nature blessed me with the power to cause women to play hard to get, act disinterested in what I have to say, and shield their faces from my gaze. We all have our gifts, friends, please take the time to seek out yours so you can learn to truly appreciate life the way I have. Love, Kelly Are you coming back to grove camp next year? Gina Tijerino Gina, Scott, Gabriel, and I all had a wonderful time at Grove Camp this year. Shout out to all the Middle School campers we got to hang out with this last week!!! We really hope to be able to come back next year although we haven’t planned out our summer with any certainty yet. So Gina, I really hope so!!! Love, Kelly Hey guys! First I want to tell you that you are the best band in the world. Do you ever think about adding someone new to the group? From, Someone you know Someone we know, The best band in the world? Wow, you’re too kind. I’m totally blushing right now. You’re just saying that. Well, we like it very much when people make bold, unfounded statements like that so keep em coming. Ok, it’s time for some insider info that I know you guys are looking for when you read this nonsense. Here’s our situation. As many of you know, we currently do not have a drummer in our band. We use a variety of characters that may or may not go by the names Gabriel, Cheddar Bob, Francy Pants, and Grahm Doody. Come fall time, all of these drummers will most likely live in towns that are at the very least 3 hours away from Portland. We are however grooming our secret weapon that’s not going to be so secret anymore. Our very own Jen Brockett has been taking some drum lessons and is doing astoundingly fantastic. We have very high hopes that she will be able to assume some of the drumming responsibilities in the next year or so, taking our band to whole new level of awesomeness. So all this time, we’ve been looking for someone to add to the group when it seems the answer to our problems has been under our big fat noses the whole time. But, time will tell my pretties. Stay tuned. Love, Kelly Kelly, Do you watch veggie-tales? What’s your favorite episode? Bob the Tomato, I have watched my fair share of veggie tales in youth group and also in the comfort of my own home. I know there was a time in my life when I was up on the veggie culture and had seen all available episodes. It has been a while since I’ve seen any though and I don’t even know if they still make them. I will share with you some of my favorite veggie moments now. “Hey boss, didn’t we throw 3 of them guys in the fire?” “Yes.” “Well, I see 4 of them walking around in there, and one of em’s reeeeeeal shiny!” “Oh Where is my hairbrush?” “You silly little pickle. You silly little peas. You think that walking round our wall will bring this city to its knees?” I know there’s more but I need to watch them again. I feel the need to mention something else. Dave recently received a Nintendo Wii for his birthday (We got Wii!!!!) and the characters (Mii’s) on our Wii Sports game are a lot like the veggie tales in the way they don’t really have arms and they kinda hop around. I find this very amusing. That’s it. Peace out, Kellii Hi everyone! Do any of you guys still watch cartoons? Whats your favorite show? Yes, hello, someone. In the casa de Holding Out we do not currently have any TV stations. We don’t have cable because we’re poor and we really don’t have the basic channels either because we don’t have any bunny ears and our stations come in terribly. So, as a result, we do not really watch cartoons. I suppose if we did, we would watch (forgive me if these are no longer on the air, it has, unfortunately, been a while.) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, X-Men, Transformers, G.I. Joe, Recess, and possibly Spongebob Squarepants. Thanks for the question and please feel free to send me any suggestions of current toons you feel we should experience. Love, Kelly Hey Guys, Do you lose sleep knowing that at any time Jenny could leave the band to pursue a modeling career? Adoring Fan It is widely known that Jenny has countless other career options to choose from. She could pursue a modeling career, as she is by far the best-looking member of Holding Out. Also, with her crazy cool combo of good looks and vivacious voice, she definitely has a shot at being the next teen pop idol. Following in the footsteps of notable others, such as Brittany Spears, Jessica Simpson, Lindsay Lohan, and of course, Fergie. However, if you take the time to get to know the sweetie pie that Jen is, you would know that she is far too smart and sophisticated to follow in the footsteps of the bimbos mentioned above. Also, she is far too devoted to the awesomeness of Holding Out to abandon us for the fruitless pursuit of being a super model. Not to mention the fact that she is romantically involved with one of the lead singers of Holding Out, Scott Brockett. So I sleep soundly at night, knowing that the pizzazz of Jen Brockett is safe in the arsenal of Holding Out and cannot be lured away by meaningless temptations of temporary satisfaction. Thanks for your question, and your concern, and worry not. You needn’t worry about losing the object of your adoration. Kelly This question is for Chuck; How do the new spinnas look? Lucky, The new spinnas are bangin. For those of you who don’t know, my wonderful bandmates had a super surprise for me at our live show. After we played the song “Hubs” in which I tell the story of the hubcaps on my car that keep on spinnin long after the car has stopped, they pulled out a brand spankin new set of flaming spinners to put on my Toyota Carolla station wagon. I was so excited that I leapt in the air and clapped my hands with glee. I put them on my car the very next day and I’ve been ridin on blades ever since. You see, in the time that has elapsed since I wrote that song, all but one of my former spinnas has met it’s unfortunate end. I lost the first spinner when I was making a hasty U-turn and smashed it into a curb, cracking the plastic and rendering it useless. The second spinner was lost somewhere between Camp Arrah Wanna and Linfield Campus. The third spinner to meet its end may actually be in use somewhere on some hooligan’s car. I was stopping at a convenience store for a late night snack when some young men asked me to purchase them some cigarettes. I replied with, “I absolutely will not, you ought to be ashamed of yourselves! Where are your parents?” or something to that effect. When I exited the store they were driving off, laughing, and I noticed that another one of my hubcaps was missing. This incident left me with one spinner and I took it off and hung it on my wall to avoid loosing this one too. So yes, I am ridin spinnas once again. And they are flamalicious. Thanks for the question and thanks for coming to the show! Kelly (Chuck) I have two questions really: First, who took over my responsibilty and yelled random things during the live recording? Second, is Kelly still the heart stopping, prepubescent teenage girl attracting, stud that he has always been? All the love in the world, The pretty Obnoxious guy who you must force yourself to spend time with Obnoxious Guy, Well, I am delighted to inform you that there were PLENTY of people to take your responsibility of screaming random things at our live recording. We had over 200 fans show up for the show which was AWESOME and made for the greatest night of our lives so far. I’ve been listening to the recording a little bit and I haven’t heard anything too random but I’ll keep at it. I don’t know if you guys heard this or not but our sound engineer that recorded the show said that the crowd sounded GREAT on the CD. He actually said that it sounded like we were playing in the Rose Garden. So you guys definitely showed up and did your part to make the CD a success. Also, I, Kelly will admit to being, at times, heart stopping. And some may choose to refer to me as a “stud”. As far as being attractive to prepubescent teenage girls goes, that sounds a little illegal so I choose to plead the fifth in response to that accusation. Thanks for the questions and all the love, sorry you couldn’t make it to the show, friend. Kelly Do you guys fart on stage? Does it get stinky sometimes? Has anyone ever ripped so bad it screwed you up? Have you ever incorporated a particularly loud fart musically into the show? Would you consider it? Who is the best farter of you all? Fartman, I can answer for myself that I definitely fart on stage and there have been times when I had gas bad enough that it did affect my playing. I know they say that everyone likes their own brand but I know there have been times in my life when this was not true for me. I believe it was during a worship set at Grove Camp last summer when I became so gassy that it caused me to gag a little and mess up a few words. Jen, who was not too far away from me was not affected however so my cloud was potent but didn’t have much range. We have yet to incorporate farts into our live show. Although we do enjoy a choreographed fart now and then in our own home. We would consider using it as a part of our show but probably more realistically as a part of a future music video. I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that Scott is the Gas Master of the group as his volume is nearly unmatched and he is the main perpetrator of the aforementioned choreographed blasts. Flatulence is funny, folks. It’s unexplainable and undeniable. Thanks for the flurry of questions, Kelly Dave,
Kelly- What is your favorite thing to see done by your fans at a concert and why? Kelly
why does my ipod charge so slowly at a time like this?
Please consider the age old adage (which is absolutely impossible for me to say in a normal cadence): A watched pot never boils. Go in peace, Kelly My Dearest Kelly,
